Firmly secure the main rotor blades to the rotor head as
shown above. Be certain to note the proper direction of the
rotor blades when assembling (clockwise rotation). Main
blades should be tightened so they can pivot when moderate
pressure is applied. Do not allow the main blades to swing
freely within the main blade holders.
Spanwise C.G. Balancing
Place each rotor blade on a sharp edge of a table as
shown and adjust so each rotor blade “teeters” on the
edge of the table. If the blades are correctly balanced,
they should be at an equal distance to the edge of the
table. If they are not, apply tape to the center of the light
or short blade until equal distance can be achieved.
Final Static Balancing
To static balance the main rotor blades, either attach each blade to
a “seesaw” type blade balancer (RVO1001) or bolt each of the two
blades together through the blade mounting holes shown and sus-
pend this unit between two drinking glasses. Add blade tracking
tape (from decal sheet) to the tip of the light or high blade until
they each become level to the table surface.
